Arc de Triomphe

The Arc de Triomphe in Paris is located on the Place Charles de Gaulle, at the top of the Chaillot Hill. At this point, 12 of the city`s busiest thoroughfares converge. The Arc de Triomphe in Paris was built for the same purpose as the Arc de Triomphe in Rome – for military triumphs, after the brilliant victories of Napoleon`s Grand Army.
